Setting Time Zone

When the time zone of the administration client is different from that of the SAP Mobile Server, you must format the time zone.

If a time or date string representation is returned to the client, it must be formatted using the SAP Mobile Server’s time zone. This requires the API implementation to perform the formatting; the client is not required to perform it.
If a time or date string representation is passed to the API, it must be formatted in the SAP Mobile Server’s time zone. This requires the client to perform the formatting before passing the time or date to API.
If a time or date is of java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, or java.sql.Timestamp, it can be used as it is.

Syntax

TimeZone getTimeZone throws SUPAdminException;

void setTimeZone(timezone) throws SUPAdminException;

Returns

If successful, returns silently. If unsuccessful, returns SUPAdminException.
